NYX Born to Glow Illuminating Primer Review

If you want that Korean Glowing skin.

You gotta do what you gotta do!

Step 1: Hydrate your skin!

Step 2: While waiting for your skin to glow from hydration, use an illuminating primer.

The latter is the fastest and easiest!  But it is a reminder from me to you to be consistent with your skincare!  You can't fake GLOW forever you know? *wink*

I recently chanced upon NYX Born to Glow! Illuminating Primer.  I find this to be a nice inexpensive alternative for a a primer that keeps your skin looking hydrated and glowing!

Cloud Cosmetics Milky Way Face Cream Illuminating Moisturizer Review

I've talked about having glowing skin as my major "peg" for the year 2019 and for the coming years.

It really goes with age, I wear lesser and lesser makeup as I grow older and can even go out without eyeliner!  (SHOCKER RIGHT?)  

But don't worry, I am still your resident AMW trying out various products when new products are here!  I mean, I always have this fascination for makeup and skincare products so this woman ain't retiring anytime soon!

Now back to the topic.   

I've had this Cloud Cosmetics Milky Way Face Cream Illuminating Moisturizer for months!  I've done an initial thoughts on #AMWIGStories and a lot of you requested for an in depth review.  I wanted to do it as quickly as possible but because I have been busy with other skincare products, it took a bit of time but I'm finally ready!

Max Factor Miracle Glow Duo Pro Illuminator Review

How much glow do you want your skin to have?
Just right...am I right?

That is the most requested look that I've been getting for the year 2018 - Fresh, Healthy and GLOWING skin! 

How to achieve such look for someone living in such a humid weather like the Philippines? 

Let's talk about the difference between a "highlighter" and an "Illuminator".

Highlight is for "concentrated area", while illuminator are create to enhance or create a feeling of light from "within".

Let's say, you can "highlight" your nose bridge, cheekbones and chin and you can actually "illuminate" the rest of you face for that "fresh" look.

You see the difference now?  I guess this is the time you can actually say: "Ahh, I need an illuminator in my life!"

And here's a perfect product to share because this is a legit ILLUMINATOR from Max Factor.

NYX Born To Glow Liquid Illuminator Review (Sunbeam)

How does it sound if you are "Born To Glow"? I believe each of us has an inner glow we just need to let out!  It could be that inner happiness that translates to an external glow!  From being in love, being contented, and just being plain grateful everyday!  

But there are days it is too difficult to find that inner glow we may need help from makeup!  Ang superficial lang #hahaha  but seriously, seeing yourself glow on the outside sometimes could help you feel the glow from within too!  (Vice versa lang yan!)

I own this tube of NYX Born To Glow Liquid Illuminator for months now and it took me time to really appreciate the glow it gives!  

Oily-skinned readers may probably find themselves clicking the "x" button now, I don't blame you, but could you at least finish this article just for the fact that you love me?  *lol* Seriously, Pretty please?  :P

Shade: Sunbeam
